Literature Survey on NLI to Robots

Since the time of Golems and Galatea, humans have been dreaming of creating Artificial Intelligence. These artificial beings were, no doubt, creation of artists. With the advancement in technology, the field is now in the domain of computer scientists. Robotics, and hence true AI, involves expertise from a lot of discipline including vision, control systems, planning and recently natural language processing. Vast amount of work has been done in these fields. However, these fields have developed almost independently. It is only in recent few years that we find research, integrating them on real robots. Integrating NL to robots, working in real world, is currently a hot topic of research. This task is challenging, as it requires amalgamation of all the fields. Thus in this chapter we give a brief overview of the work done in all these system.
